T8 - GEOSCIENCES ON DISPLAY: THE ROLE OF NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS IN THE
FUTURE OF OUR PLANET

Geosciences are playing a crucial role in our society, which has to face
new challenges in our evolving planet. In this context, Natural History
Museums have a key function in helping society to develop a deeper
understanding of both the scientific method and natural systems, with a
particular focus on the evolution of the lithosphere, with its mineral
resources, and life, as testified by the paleontological record.
This session aims to facilitate the discussion on the role of scientific
museums in present-day society. The focus will be mainly devoted to the
research and dissemination activities carried out in museums. We welcome
contributions on taxonomy, diagnostics, conservation, and valorisation
of museum collections and specimens (including digitization and
cataloguing), the study of biodiversity, history of science and
environment (including the exploitation of geo-resources through the
centuries), curatorial aspects (innovative exhibits and storytelling),
citizen science, and education. Abstracts regarding geo-sites and case
studies on the indicated topics are also recommended.

Keywords: museums, geological heritage, education, conservation,
dissemination
